This same geographic area of RPOSD as the benefit assessment district area;
The Board of Supervisors of the County of Los Angeles shall act, ex officio, as the governing body of the RPOSD – all powers and authority of the District shall be vested in the Board of Supervisors in its capacity as RPOSD’s Board of Directors;
The term for the assessment at 22 years; and
